This may be bigger endeavor, but wouldn't it be possible to extend setuptools interfaces in a way that plugging in the fortran support does not require monkey patching or accessing the implementation internals? Such an extension could also be used to extend setuptools to handle extensions written in other languages such as Rust. By the way, how is Cython affected by this? Cython also distributes an extension to (the module formerly know as) distutils to transparently compile extensions written in Cython. Could the efforts toward multi-language support in distutils be coordinated with the Cython maintainers?
